Nursery Rhyme
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My sister's name is Puudin' Tame,
They asked if she would stay the same,
My brother's name is Little Jack Horner,
My mama asked to watch to heat warm them.
Sister told papa when he got home,
Papa, papa, he sassed and moaned,
Papa looked at brother, far in his eyes,
Brother started on thr handjive.
He called sister, and he called mom,
Said,Look here, look here, what's this going on;
Everybody had a real surprise,
But brother had tears in his eyes.
Brother's so scared he couldn't walk,
Papa's afraid he could not talk
